THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 21, 1826. TUMULT OF THE CHINESE OF MACAO. We translate the following curious statement from a Portuguese Paper, published at Macao, entitled Ga zeta de Macao. Our readers are aware that Macao is a Portuguese settlement,' in the Bay of Canton, and that it is the only establishment of foreigners permitted in the Celestial Empire. The Portuguese obtained this singular privilege as a reward for a signal service performed to the Chinese Government in destroying pirates that infested their coast. The transaction here recorded resembles in all its features (except the treat ment of the Mandarins) what lately happened to our own traders and those of the United States:— " MACAO, MARCH 18.—There took piaci in this city, on the 11th of February, a horrible assassination of a Chi nese, perpetrated by a native of Timor, the slave of Major Joseph Gaetano Favacho, as will be seen by the narrative anti sentence which have been published. This was a very nice case, and one of , the . greatest difficulty in this country, as the Chinese Authorities imperatively demanded satisfaction for it. The most illustrious Governor of the City, conjointly with the illustrious Senate and the ouvidor, conducted it in the most prudent and cautious Trimmer, in order to conciliate the Mandarins, without . giving up the assassin to the power of their barbarous justice, as was anciently the case; and having conformed in every thing to the Royal ordinances, they amicably obtained the ob ject which they aimed at. The attassin having been sen tenced to death by the junta of justice of this city, was destined for execution on th e 13th of March. His execu tion accordingly , took place at eight o'clock in the morn ing of that day, on the exercise ground, in the presence of the Mandarins, and a multitude of Chinese spectators, who came to see him hung, and his hands and head cut off, conformably to his sentence. " At this moment, a Chinese prostrating himself at the foot of one of the principal Mandarins—begged leave hum bly to speak, and declared, that the real murderer was not the person who had just been executed; but Major Joseph Caetano Pavacho himself; that therefore the Chinese were not satisfied with the justice which the Christians had carried into effect : adding, that the Christians were not in the habit of doing justice. On this the Mandarin, call. ing an officer of justice, ordered the complainant imme diately to be scourged. " On this a band, composed of robbers, to whom the Chinese gave the name of Lan-chair, advanced from the multitude which had assembled to see the execution, and taking advantage of the opportunity to exercise their trade, occasioned such tumult and confusion, and threw such a quantity of stones, that many persons were severely hurt, and among the rest, two Mandarins. The rob. tiers, upon this, precipitately entered the city, threw stones at the houses of the Christians, by which they passed, and breaking open the doors, robbed the house of Major Favacho and many other persons. They then passed on to attack the Senate-house likewise, and know ing that the said Major was in the palace of thq Governor (who was himself in the Fortiliza do Monte) with the members of the illustrious Senate and the Ouvidor, they proceeded to the said palace, and attempted to enter it by force, but were repelled. When it was seen from this fortress that great confusion had tahen place in the city, a detachment of soldiers was sent thither, along with other persons, accompanied by a portion of the negro slaves, who in a short time put them to flight. The robbers, however, spreading themselves through the Bazaar, and an oppor tunity offering by the distance in which Terrafiro is situated, and by their having their boats on that beach, they ran thither and were enabled to commit robberies likewise in that place to a considerable extent. They were only drives away and forced to embark by a field-piece brought against them. Two other field-pieces were placed in the square of the Senate ready to be used in case it was found necessary. " The Mandarins pausing through the city in the height of the tumult, and not being able to appease it,were stoned afresh, and retired to the New Pagoda, beyond the city, whence they were only enabled to escape when tranquil lity was restored. It is true, that the robbers, besides pillage, committed destruction in the houses, but they did not do it with impunity; for those who came out to quell the mob,performed their duty so well, that they wounded many of them, and some of them severely. The number of Chinese who came to see the execution might be within a few of 3,000, of whom a considerable portion were en gaged in the ri o t. This was the first time that we , had observed a formal rising of the Chinese against their own authorities. Not even respect for the presence of Quan Chew Fu (Gover nor of Canton), who was delegate of the Viceroy, and was present to witness the execution, could restrain them, although he was accompanied by oth er M an d ar i ns, w h o were likewise maltre a t e d, one of them, who was on horse back, being dismounted. On the 14th (next day) the Lan-chair returned to the Bazaar, and endeavoured to prevent the sale of commo dities to the Christians. They were, however, by the precautions taken, forced to fly, and tranquillity appears to be re-established. The best understanding and har mony exist between our authorities and those of the Chi nese, from whom we have demanded a signal satisfaction for the insults which were offered us on that day, and which they permitted. W e shill publish the official correspondence which has ta k en place between the procureur of the city and the Mandarins, as soon as we obtain a copy of it. How TO PURIFY A CHARACTER..---Cardinal Coscia, the nephew, or as others whispered the son, of Pope Benedict XIII. had vast influence with his Holi ness. He abused this power, and was guilty of a thousand oppressions ; he converted every thing sacred into money ; and lived in luxury and profligacy. At length the public grievances and riots of Coscia had grown to such a height, that the Cardinals represent ed the matter to the Pope, who said he would enquire into the facts, and punish Coscia, if they proved true. The same' day he taxed him with the alleged crimes, but Coscia declared it was all calumny, and swore with tears in his eyes, that he was innocent, entreating the Pope to hear him in confession. To this his Holi ness agreed, and almost took him for a saint. But COSOI4 fearing he would get his eyes • open, had re- Ili& anday; co . t!rse to the following scheme to blind him still more. , ' l im i t e tte o r ac w i as delivered to the Pop e , ' informing him would be with one of his mistresses . that the eact. looking his Holiness came be would take him in t v ou l c h ?oin -went at the time appointed, and knees at.pr ger the key hole, observed Coscia on his crucifix in °‘, with his beads in one hand, and a .able to restrain Vtvi - f the Wier, whi ch r he devoutly ki • 'ssed Lin " dear Coscia," saim, v: Ings, he entered the room, represented you to me , embracing him, g , they have ' 4 ' the trr , have been so Weak AS to eur eateet•oisinners, and I pardon, and I pray G o d for Y ou guilty ; I ask your line .the i . nj u . ry .

Considerable sales of stock have taken place for Irish holders, who find a great demand from Irish landlords for money on mortgage ; and many of the smaller English landholders, from an apprehension, it is supposed, of a failure of rents, are converting their stock into cash, now that the market has taken a favour able turn. Certain it is, that the number of powers of attorney for the sale of stock exceeds the proportion usually in the hands of brokers at this season. The sale of stock for Ireland is to a great amount. Causes like these, though productive of no permanent effect, have, of course, some power to counteract what may he called that natural rise of Consols which is the usual and almott necessary consequence of the absence of temptation to invest capital in trade or manufactures. The discredit., too, of the rumour of the Bank's reduction of its rate of discount, the result of which measure would, of course, have been to raise Consols 4 or 5 per cent., is not without its effect.— Those, however, who are determined never to allow na tural and obvious causes - for the simplest events, are spreading and believing all sorts of absurd and improbable' stories. Those who are not practically acquainted with the extent of absurdity and folly of which a jobber's intel lect is capable, will scarcely credit that a report was yes terday got up,—and, like all other lies, had its coterie of believers—that Mr. Canning had been sent to Paris for the purpose of concluding those commercial arrangements which Mr. Huskisson had last year failed in completing; and that the Right Hon. Secretary's mission had already failed. Such nonsense requires no refutation. How are these worthies to know the objects of Mr. Canning's mission ? Mr. Canning reached Paris on Saturday night. Was M. IVillele pulled out of his bed to negotiate ? And is a business which a whole year could not settle, to be got rid of in five minutes' talk ? Would Mr. Canning take the trouble of going to Paris to be rebuffed at one short inter- view ? But really we are ashamed to reason on such a nonsensical report : we mention it merely to show the sort of intellect which characterises a great portion of the job bing world. The Colo n i a l mar k et i s h eavy ; butit is thought that at the approaching indigo sale there will be a brisk demand, aad chiefly from foreigners. It is expected that out of 10,000 chests, the estimated quantity, two-, thirds will go abroad, as was t h e case l ast year. Thi s, with the circumstance mentioned yesterday of the increas ing demand for raw cotton, is a pretty convincing proof that the manufacturing system is making great strides on the Continent. Many instances have come to our know ledge; one may sullice as a specimen. A cotton-manu facturer in Silesia, who began only two years ago, and who manufactured for some time at the rate of 1,0001. per week, is now working at the rate of 6,0001., and his esta blishment is daily increasing. We do not say that there is any cause for serious alarm in such facts : the enterprise and skill, the energy and perseverance of the English ma nufacturer, will always make lira a most formidable rival to any foreign competitor: but it may be worth his while to pause and consider whether, with our enormous load of taxation, he can reasonably expect to continue always to manufacture for nations less burdened. Instead, there fore, of blindly rushing into extensive enterprises at the first glimpse of opening or improving markets, he ought soberly to consider the propriety of never-ceasing importu nity to the Government to retrench expenditure, reduce taxation, and thus remove the load, which, like the man of the sea, paralyses exertion, and suffocates the very life., breath of the nation.—rrmcs. Du Halle says, " When you have to do with the Chinese, take care of being too hasty or warm ; the genius of the country requires you to act with great calmness ; the Chinese would not patiently hear in a month, what a Frenchman can speak in an hour."— Query. How long would they be digesting Mr. John Wilks'a rigmarole letter upon_black diamonds, and the transgressions of the press? EVENING PARTIES AT ROMa IN 1760.—T" I entered a very spacious magnificent room, lighted by two small wax candles, placed in great silver candle sticks upon stands. A deep silence reigned through out ; the conversation is carried on in brief whispers, and not a mortal stirs from the spot i n w hi c h hi s goo d or ill fortune has placed hbu, for it would be a crime to move a chair. The moment any visitor enters the room, two .pages in black livery attend with ice upon salvers. - This profound silence, a murmuring silver fountain, a number of cardinals, prelates, and abbots, dressed in .black, the two wax candles giving a dismal light, all this together makes the assembly look like mutes watching a corpse, and a church-yard itself does not put one more in mind of mortality , . If the conversation rises above a whisper, it is confined to what is done or sa id in the c it y by the Pope,. tbe effects of some medicine, some anecdote of a Cardinal; the heat or cold of the weather, or the age of the moon.-- after thoroughly canvassing these momentous su bjects till `midnight, the- company retire wi t h t h e i r h ea d* as empty as their stomachs. OLD BAILEY, SEPT. 20. OLD COURT. Henry Dunn and Mewtha Smith were put to the bar, the first charged with stealing shawls, silks, and other arti cles, value 100/., of George D r ake Sewe ll and Thomas Cross, to whom he was shopman; and the woman with receiving them, well knowing them to be stolen. Mr. ALLEY and Mr. LAW appeared for the prosecution; and Mr. ADOLPHUS and Mr. BRODERICK for the defence. The details both of evidence and argument were of te lions length. The main objection taken was, that the goods having in all probability been removed in small portions, of less than 40s. value, at each time, whether the capital charge could be sustained. The objection was overruled. - The goods were fully identified by the prosecutor and his people, and traced by the clearest evidence to the prisoners. On their appre hension, the prisoner Smith did not attempt any conceal ment of the fact of having received them from her para mour, but declared her entire ignorance of their having been stolen. Mary Baker knew the prisoner Smith. She showed witness a piece of green silk of the colour called Ester hazy. She said that there were about 15 yards, which would make a dress and bonnet. She spoke of one Henry whom witness understood to be the man at the bar, as a very kind man, and a good friend of hers. She said, that he was foreman at a linen-draper's, and that he got the things at wholesale prices, and that he was to pay for them out of his salary. She showed a few pair of gloves. Maria White had lived with the prisoner Smith for five weeks, up to the time in which she was taken up. Had seen Dunn there often, and various silk and other goods which Smith said came from Dunn. Witness was taken up with her, but discharged at Marlborough-street. At the watchhouse, Smith said that she did not know that Dunn had stolen the goods. Mr. Cross identified the piece of brown silk. Cross-examined—Knew it by the selvage and the colour. He had 40 yards of it. The manufacturers generally make 120 yards of the same pattern. It is usual for the shop men to be supplied with goods at the cost prices. Charles Cruce keeps the books of the prosecutor, and enters all sales to the shopmen. The goods entered against Dunn did not amount to 20s. His salary was 45/. a year, and the last quarter was due to him when ap prehended. Several pawnbrokers produced goods whiCh had been pledged by Rowland and Mills for" Anne Smith." Mrs. Rowland and Mrs. Mills proved, that they had pawned the goods for Smith. The prisoner Dunn left his defence to his Counsel. The prisoner Smith said, that Dunn gave her the things, and that she did not know that he had stolen them. Several witnesses of respectability gave Dunn a good character. Justice LITTLZDALE summed up at some length.—Ven dict against both prisoners, Guilty. NEW COURT. Abraham Fowler stood indicted for stealing, on the 3d of July, a silver watch, the property of John George Emmet. The prosecutor (who was blind) stated, that he was walking in the Strand along with a friend on the day stated in the indictment—there was a great crowd on ac count of the Cabinet-makers' Society - being parading the streets, he felt a pressure on his thigh, and immediately missed his watch. Verdict—Not Guilty. INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S COURT, SEPT. 20 Wm. Salt, a merchant's clerk, was opposed by Mr. Pot, LOCK, on behalf of Mrs. Tourle and several other creditors, and by Mr. Couston in person. He was supported by Messrs. HEATH and COOKS. It appeared that the debt of Mrs. Tourle was contracted by, the purchase of some cows, which, according to his statement, not being able to do any thing with them, he offered to return to her; but, she refusing to take them back, he sold them in a few days for less than half what he had bought them for. When she subiequently was about to sue him, he wrote several letters to her, acknowledging the justice of her claim, and imploring her not to have him arrested, out of compassion for his wife and children, (he now admitted that he had no children), who must starve if he went to prison. He, nevertheless, took defence to the action, and put her to 454 costs. The only other point established against him, was his having guaranteed the debt of an acquaintance of his to a grocer, in Holborn, at a time when he (insolvent) was upwards of 2,0004 in debt. There was nothing in the opposition of Mr. Couston, who hold bills of exchange drawn by the insolvent upon a person of the name of Sut ton to the amount of 801., which he received for rent of a house in Fleet-street, where, conjointly with Mr. Wooler and others, Mr. Couston had previously carried on the publication of a newspaper called The Nation. The bills were dishonoured, and Mr. Couston complained of the re presentation which the insolvent made to him of Sutton's circumstances; but he admitted, in reply to Mr. Cook's questions, that " the nation not having taken to The Na tion, The Nation failed, whereby he lost a nation sight of money,"---(laughter)—and he told the insolvent that be would be glad if he would take the house off his hands. Mr. Commissioner HARRIS told the insolvent's Coun sel, they had nothing to answer in the opposition of Mr. POUSIAII ; but on the two points above-mentioned in the other part of the case, the judgment of the Court was, that .the insolvent be remanded within the walls of the prison for nine calendar months. The insolvent said, he bowed to the decision of the Court, but he wished to state, that there was not a bigger villain in existence than Mr. Moss (one of the witnesses for the opposition, who described himself as filling the of attorney's clerk and parish clerk). He I d , o ,a u s b t l ) e ro c c a e l c uic d to pour forth a torrent of obloquy on this individual, when - - - - The Learned COMMISSIONER informed him, that in ad dition to the time for which he had been adjudged to be remanded, the Court would commit him for a longer pe riod if he did not conduct himself with more Propriety. s urciriE .—O n Friday last, a man, named Richardth i li n ' put s a n end to his life, by bangingfotd bi n iu de a va e i l dv f ec i i a tt g o s n ° ,nearthe place where he lodged.

A f ew days ago, a most extensive robbery was com mitted in the Cheshire Cheese public-house, Old ham. The robbery is said to be to the amount of 'l4Bl. in sovereigns and notes, which the landlady (a widow) had deposited as she thought in apiece of safety. Suspicion has fallen on some soldiers, .wh o ware quartered at the h ouse, and have since abscond ed. The most active search is being made after the suspected parties. m 9::1„1 03)16411 IMPERIAL DISTILLERY COMPANY. A meeting of the scripholders was held yesterday, in pursuance of a motion carried at the meeting held in the company's offices ' in Mark-la ne , on t h e 6 t h ins t ant , un d er the impression that some of the directors would attend, in order that they might meet the charges brought against them. After ,the scripholders had waited for some time in the hope that one or more of the directors would arrive, A clerk of Messrs. Norcott, the solicitors to the com pany, stated, that he had received a letter from his master, in which he informed him that it had been his intention to have attended the present meeting, but as he (Mr. Nor eat) had been taken suddenly ill with the cholera morhus, he was not able to attend. The clerk also informed the meeting that he ,h a d re ceived a letter from Mr. P.. Moore. Who declined attend ing, and as the secretary, (Mr. Lane) was obliged still to keep out of the way, as a writ was out against him for the debts incurred on the part ofthe company, he did not see how any legal meeting could be formed. Mr. Aston was also absent, having gone to Margate for the purpose of enjoying himself. Not a single officer of the company was therefore present, and the scripholders expressed themselves in strong terms on the shameful conduct of the directors. A shareholder ashed whether all the directors laboured under a similar attack as that experienced by Mr. Norcott ? The Clerk said he really could not tell. Mr. W.-CLARK asked if the persons present were to understand that the directors had absconded ? The Clerk said, perhaps, they ought to have been pre sent; but he could not answer the question. Mr. W. CLARK said, it was nonsense to talk about the (Iced of settlement, which the directors themselves had paid no attention to. A difficulty here arose to find a person ►lualifed to art as chairman, but finally Mr. W. Clark wa►s called to the chair. Tile CHAIRMAN stated, that as not one of the directors had thought proper to attend .a meeting, adjourned for the purpose of giving them au opportunity of being present, this must be considered as a meeting of scripholders, and all they could do would be to pass resolutions censuring the conduct of those directors. Mr. ANDREWS presented himself to the meeting, and stated, that he came there, although not a scripholdiT, in order that a contradiction might be given on the part of Mr. Mitchinson, of Hyde-park-place, to the assertion that he had accepted a directorship. • That gentleman, now, in France, had authorised him to attend the meeting, in or der to state that Mr: Mackinnon had had nothing what ever to do with the company. That gentleman's name had therefore been used improperly. Mr. ANDREWS then read the letter from Mr. Mackin non, authorizing him to contradict the assertion. • A Shareholder asked whether Mr. Mackinnon had not received letters requiring his attendance as a director. Mr. ANDREWS said he had, and had sent a letter, de clining the situation. Mr. Andrews then left the room. Mr. CLARK then called on the representative of Mr. Norcott to produce the papers. The Clerk said he must have it satisfactorily proved that the meeting was legal before he acceded to the request. Mr. CLARK not being duly qualified, then va ca t e d t h e chair in favour of Mr. Forman, who was qualified ; but as the proposer was not qualified, the clerk said he could not give up the papers. Mr. W. CLARK said, it was clear that the directors had sent their agent here to insult the.shareholderS, in addition to ******* them. Mr. P. Moore had sent a letter, stating that he would have attended the last meeting if he knew where it was held ; he did know, but his servant had run away, as if he had been• told to do so, without waiting for an answer. The letter further stated, that he was ready to retire from the company, having paid all his calls ; that he had lost his money and his credit, but that he had every reason to believe that the concern would be profitable if properly managed. He (the Chairman) would ask why Mr. Peter Moore had not been present ? The only answer was, that he had acted in such a manner that he was ashamed to attend. It bad been said to him, " Oh, do not hearted in consequenc e o f hi s con d uct in vii proceed further with the ch arges against Col. Congreve, as h e was quite broken rious companies :he was on his death-bed, and therefore let his feelings be spared." This was the way those who had taken the public money thought to soften down their foul transactions. A similar story had been told him respect ing Mr. P. Moore; but that person had been seen in the city as stout as ever, probably on his way to attend a meet ing of directors of some company or other. The whole conduct of the directors was highly culpable. He would not call them swindlers, as he feared the consequences ; but none of the directors had wished to resign until no more money was to be gc4 out of the scripholders, and until they were called upon to give an account of their stewardship. If the shareholders remained inactive, they would be worthy of all the insults they had received at the hands of the directors; but if the shareholders would sup port him, he would almost promise that ho would get back their money. Ho had drawn up some resolutions, which, if the meeting pleased, he would read. They were as follows " Resolved, That the conduct of the Directors, in not attending their own meeting, is unbecoming the conduct of gentlemen. " That, as far as the Scripholders and Shareholders are enabled to form a judgment of the principles and conduct of all persons concerned in the concoction and management of the Company, the same appears to have been bottomed in fraud, and to be a gross delusion upon the public. "That, on the whole, the conduct of the Directors and Ma nagers, is highly dishonourable, and the meeting cannot too strongly mark their sense of the same." These resolutions were put and carried. A Shareholder suggested, whether it would not be com petent for the meeting, as none of the officers of the Com pany were present, to have the locks picked, and by such means procure an inspection of the books. Mr. GRIFFITHS said he thought that would be going too far. On inquiry, however, h appeared that the books, &c. had been removed. The CHAIRMAN stated, that as law expenses would per haps be necessary, he would recommend that a subscrip tion be set on foot for that purpose. A motion was then put, that a committee be formed, consisting of Mr. Clark, Mr. Forman, and Mr. Taylor, to act for the benefit of those intrusted. The question was put and carr i e d . Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. pliouGHT.---In the year 161, it begun to freeze early in January in York, an d cont i nue d t ill the 7th of March follo wing .
